A system and method for storing data in a distributed network having a plurality of datacenters distributed over a plurality of geographic regions. The method may involve receiving data, including metadata, uploaded to a first datacenter of the distributed network, receiving access information about previous data that was previously stored in the plurality of datacenters of the distributed network, predicting one or more of the plurality of geographic regions from which the uploaded data will be accessed based on the metadata and the access information, and instructing the uploaded data to be transferred from the first datacenter to one or more second datacenters located at each of the one or more predicted geographic regions.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the access information is derived from a predictive model trained on metadata of the previously uploaded data.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein the predictive model is a decision tree model.
4. The method of claim 2, wherein the metadata of the previously uploaded data includes an identification of a user uploading the previously uploaded data, and wherein the one or more of the plurality of geographic regions from which the uploaded data will be accessed by one or more of the plurality of users is predicted based at least in part on the identification of the user uploading the previously uploaded data.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the metadata includes an identification of a user uploading the uploaded data, and wherein the one or more of the plurality of geographic regions from which the uploaded data will be accessed by one or more of the plurality of users is predicted based at least in part on the identification of the user uploading the previously uploaded data.
6. The method of claim 5, wherein the previously uploaded data includes one or more files, wherein the metadata of the previously uploaded data includes file characteristic data of the one or more files, wherein the file characteristic data includes at least one of: a name of a corresponding file; a size of the corresponding file; or an identification of a directory or a file path at which the corresponding file is stored, and wherein the one or more of the plurality of geographic regions from which the uploaded data will be accessed by one or more of the plurality of users is predicted based at least in part on the file characteristic data.
10. The method of claim 9, wherein the file is initially stored at one or more source servers located at first datacenter, and wherein instructing the file to be transferred includes instructing, by the one or more processors, data servers of the one or more second datacenters located at the common predicted geographic region to pull the file from the one or more source servers.
12. The system of claim 11, wherein the access information is derived from a predictive model trained on metadata of the previously uploaded data.
13. The system of claim 12, wherein the predictive model is a decision tree model.
14. The system of claim 12, wherein the metadata of the previously uploaded data includes an identification of a user uploading the previously uploaded data and wherein the one or more processors are configured to predict the one or more of the plurality of geographic regions from which the uploaded data will be accessed by one or more of the plurality of users based at least in part on the identification of the user uploading the previously uploaded data.
15. The system of claim 11, wherein the metadata includes an identification of a user uploading the uploaded data, and wherein the one or more processors are configured to predict the one or more of the plurality of geographic regions from which the uploaded data will be accessed by one or more of the plurality of users based at least in part on the identification of the user uploading the previously uploaded data.
16. The system of claim 15, wherein the previously uploaded data includes one or more files, wherein the metadata of the previously uploaded data includes file characteristic data of the one or more files, wherein the file characteristic data includes at least one of: a name of a corresponding file; a size of the corresponding file; or an identification of a directory or a file path at which the previously uploaded data is stored, and wherein the one or more processors are configured to predict the one or more of the plurality of geographic regions from which the uploaded data will be accessed by one or more of the plurality of users based at least in part on the file characteristic data.
20. The system of claim 19, wherein the file is initially stored at one or more source servers located at first datacenter, and wherein the one or more processors are configured to instruct data servers of the one or more second datacenters located at the common predicted geographic region to pull the file from the one or more source servers.
